Knock Out Punch, Thurday, Oct. 3

I was struck down by a nasty nasty cold and was out of the water for 4 days. I've still got a bit of a hacking cough, but got in a short swim at Pitt today. Nothing fast, still too out of it. Unfortunately, this means another week of training down the drain just when I was starting to get in the groove.

Sorry you're under the weather!
heard somewhere that taking (odorless) garlic everyday not only keeps away Vampires, but minimizes the number of colds you get - started this almost exactly 3 years ago - I've had only ONE cold, lasted ~3-4 days - used to get 3 - 4 per year which would last at least a week to week and a half.
Just sayin'

I have been taking garlic! I've read that it doesn't prevent colds, but that it helps prevent bacterial infections from them. I think I just succumbed due to stress and lack of sleep.
